This Company has been formed for the construction of a ailway from Douglas to Peel (passing through St. John's), the Isle of Man. The improved trade of these important wns, as well as the prosperous condition and increasing )pulation of the island, and the rapid augmentation of the ember of visitors during late years, call for the immediate truduction of railways. The Agricultural capabilities of the Island are great ; and ; Mineral products are acknowledged to be rich in yield Ld avove average value ; whilst around the Coast there e extensive Fisheries, and an unlimited supply of Sea aed for Manure. The expense and trouble, however, of ad -carriage, have hitherto rendered these advantages corn ,ratively unavailable. Slate Quarries are in active operation; and the quality the Slate is equal in clos-ness of grain and durability to Ly produced from the great Welsh quarries. The Granite ar St. John's compares favourably with that now used in e Liverpool Dock Works, and would at once, by means of ilway facilities, become available for export. One of the proposed Stations on the line will be at St. )hes, where the Courts of Tynwald meet, and which is so the centre of the Foxdale mining district. The produce these mines is now brcught by land-carriage (there being water communication) to Douglas, a distance of nearly a miles, whilst Coals and other important materials, as all as all necessaries required by the inland population, e conveyed into the interior by the same mode. Besides ese items of traffic, the Fairs, which are frequently held 'ring the year in this district, must add considerably to annual revenue of the Company. The principal towns are Douglas, Peel, Castl e t own, amsey, and Laxey : D oug l as b eing the chief port, and the eat commercial depot, as well as the principal place of rival and departure of the steam packets plying to and Dm the Island. At the port of Peel the fisheries are prin pally conducted, employing upwards of 1,000 vessels; .e place of destination ter the produce is Douglas ; the ute is tedious, and the transit by the existing means ex .nsi ye. Tne access to the Island is easy, and the means of corn unication with Liverpool, Fleetwood, Whitehaven, !loth, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, and other ports, both by iling and steam vessels, are frequent and convenient. ence, Tourists visit the Hand in large numbers, above 10,000 p assengers having been landed at its Ports during e past year. Such Visitors, attracted by the antiquarian Lice, scenery, and other objects of interest, would, as a atter of course, go by the proposed Railway from Douglas the interior, and across the Island to Peel. I The highest medical authorities bear testimony to the lubrity of the climate and purity of the water. The cturesque is united with the more solid advantage of cheap ring, provisions being abundant and comparatively inex ,nsive, whilst the rates of duties on foreign produce are so call as to render the Island most advantageous as a per anent place of residence. Her Majesty's Government and the Local Authorities are )w expending upwards of £60,000, for the improvement of Ports of Douglas and Peel The Electric Telegraph to England has been recently tablished. The Lines of Rail will be single, with requisite sidings. lie length of Line will be about twelve miles, and the adients easy throughout. The landowners and popula )n along it are most favourable to the project. From Statistics recently collected on the spot, with much re, by competent persons, and well supported by Official eturns, it is confidently expected that the Traffic win re rn a good Dividend upon the Invested Capital, The fol wing is an Estimate of the Traffic : issengers, inclusive of Tourists £7,500 per annum.

Neither Imperial or Local Taxes are levied in the Island, d those heavy charges which tend so much to reduce the lue of Railway property in England and other countries, less than to diminish the Shareholders' Dividends, can t, in any degree whatever, prevail with respect to this no.

The leading financial establishments in Paris are the Credit Mobilier and the Credit Fonder ; both of which have stood the test of experience, and have realised very large profits for their shareholders—the tran.actions of the Credit Fonder being based upon the Land Credit system, whilst the Credit Mobilier embraces general Financial business. The wisdom of this division of operations has been fully realised by the Credit Foncier for Great Britain and Ireland which, sines its establishment, has found the offers of busi ness. both of a Land Credit as well as of a general Financial character, so large, as to necessitate the formation of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), to undertake such financial opera tions as the Credit Fonder, with due regard to its special ob jects, cannot legitimately carry out. The principal objects of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), are as follows, viz..— To co-operate with other first-class Financial and Indus trial undertakinc , s. _ _ _ To negotiate Government and Municipal Loans. To aid in carrying out concessions, based upon Govern ment guarantees and subventions. To make advances to responsible contractors for English and foreign railways, and other public works. To lend on the security of stocks, funds, shares, deben tures and other approved securities, with special reference to the requirements of the Stock Exchange. The Credit Hobilier (Limited) will also receive money on deposit for long or short rer ods. The marked success which has attended the operations of the various Financial Companies, now in existence, is well known, and is evidenced by the following quotations of the market value c f their respective shares. Amount paid per Share. The London Financial Association £l5 Now at £ll prem. The International Financial Society 5 7 ~ The General Credit Company The Mercantile Credit Association 5 If 9 f The Credit Mobilier (of Paris) The last dividend declared by the Credit Mobilier (of Paris) being at the rate of 25 per cent. per annum.

Hire, was hourly expected to em bark the 6th Regiment for the West Indies. The 4th Regiment was under orders for Malta. Both battalions of the 9th Regiment were under orders for Gibraltar. It was thought that the 2d Mitts lion would embark first. The arrival of the Meeanee, 60, Capt. G. Wodehouse, the Resistance, iron -clad, 18, Capt. Chamberlain, and the Liffey, 35, Capt. G. Parker, was expected, to assist in embarking stores and guns. There was an Italian frigate at Corfu with 140 naval cadets on board, who were daily cruising in the channel in a steam launch belonging to the ship. It is reported that the captain of the Orlando has applied to the Admiralty to have simi lar steam launches introduced into our navy. The following movements have taken place among the ships of the fleet at Malta during the week:—On Friday last the Icarus, 11, Acting-Commander Lieut. N. Boger, left for Benghazi, to take there Mr. Dennis, lately appointed Vice-Consul at that place, and Mrs. Dennis, On her return the Icarus will proceed to Corfu, for which island she was on the point of saiiing when she recived counter orders. The iron-clad frigate Resistance left on the same day for the Pira3us and Corfu. This ship may be said to be on the black list at present. Some fresh instances of misconduct on the part of the crew, similar to that already related—such as wilfully damaging the fittings of the guns, &c.—have oc curred. The screw transport Orontes left on Sa turday for Corfu. The screw gunboat Growler, 2, Lieut.-Com, J. M'Neill Boyd, left on the following day for Corfu, to be employed in towing lighters to the transports that are loading ordnance stores. Sir Henry Bulwer and suite arrived on Monday from Marseilles in the Caradoc, and proceeded on Wednesday to Constantinople. The Royal Oak leaves Malta to-day for Corfu direct. A Turkish war steamer, the Kars, Capt. Salih Bey, arrived here yesterday from Constantinople and Candia, with munitions of war for Tripoli. The Supply, screw storeship, Master Commander Bowden, arrived at Spithead yesterday from Corfu and Gibraltar. Mr. Armstrong, master, R.N., in valided from her Majesty's ship Cossack, died at sea between Corfu and Gibraltar. The Supply has a largo cargo of military stores on board, and will proceed on to Woolwich.

The announcement was yesterday made at Chat ham of the appointment of Lieut.-Col. A. P. S. Green to the command of the Ist division of the Depot Brigade Royal Artillery, in succession to Lieut.-Col. R. Talbot, who has been placed under orders to embark for the Cape of Good Hope, to take the command of two batteries of the 2d Brigade Royal Artillery. The Royal Sovereign Turret Ship. The Royal Sovereign, turret ship, was yesterday floated out of No. 3 dock, Portsmouth, in the pre sence of a considerable number of spectators, chiefly naval officers. The Royal Sovereign was formerly a line-of-battle ship, and we may attribute her trans formation to her present form to the famous action between the Monitor and the Merrimac, which seemed to supply a strong argument in favour of Captain Cowper P. Coies's plan of arming ships with heavy guns, protected by cupolas, on the upper deck, and Captain Coles at once became a famous man. The Admiralty, urged by the House of Commons, at last consented to the construction of a Monitor for the British service, and the Royal Sovereign was assigned as the vessel upon which the experiment was to be tried. She was, therefore cut down, so as, when cased with iron, to bring her upper deck within a few feet of the water line, and so to limit the surface exposed to an enemy's fire. But the ship, as she is built, exhibits a very material alte ration from the original design. The cupola, or dome, has been dispensed with, and the turret is substituted. These turrets (of which there are four in number, each armed with a heavy gun), are sunk into the:upper deck of the ship, and are made to revolve on the same principle as a railway turntable, the motive power being within the turret, so that the gun may be moved in a lateral direction to any. point of a circle. In each turret there is a narrow oval port hole for the muzzle of the gun to be run out, and this is but a short distance (perhaps a foot or two) above the surface of the deck, which falls from the centre to the side. The top of the turret is protected by parallel bars of iron, in which there are three circular holes, through any one of which the officer of the gun may insert his head to take sight of the object to be fired at, and at the same time to direct the movements of the men inside. The balwarks of the ship will be attached at the lower part by hinges, and will fall back so as to hang over the broadside when the guns are fired. The eurrets being thus sunk, so that the basement rests on the main deck, do not form a conspicuous mark for the enemy. They are heavily cased with iron, and are of such strength that each weighs no less than 138 tons. The deck, however, is not bomb proof, consisting only of plates of iron one inch thick and covered with the usual planks of wood, so that if a heavy shot were to fall vertically it is not improbable that it would find its way out of the bottom of the ship. In the interior the cabins are lofty, but, as a matter of course, not well-lighted. A very important invention has, however, been introduced to improve the ventilation. It is a plan designed by Dr. Edmonstone, staff-surgeon of her Majesty's ship Victory, and consists of air channels running the whole length of the ship, and communicating with the hold where foul air accumulates, an d i ts carried off through these tu bes into the funnel, in• that it it will of the s h t e e a a l d t h o f of permeating the cre w t h . e Idtecikss believed'to thur answer -perfectly, inasmuch as even when the fires are not lighted to increase the draft up the chimney stack, there is a c onsiderable current of air upwards through the tubes which communicate with the funnel. The ship under water is coated with Muntz's metal, end to prevent galvanic action a band of vitreous sheathing has been attached for some distance below and above the water line. This sheathing consists of small plates of iron covered w i t h a preparation of glass, and is intended to be an anti-fouling as well as protective agent. Contrary to the expectation of many persons, the displace ment caused by the Royal Sovereign when she floated was found to be rather less than was an ticipated, and lihe now draws, without her stores ri gg i ng, or guns, 18 fe e t f orwar d an d 24 f ee t aft. Although au unsightly ship on the water, and CITY SEWERS COMMISSION. Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, the Commissioners of Sewers of the city of London met at Guildhall for the despatch of public business. H. De Jersey, Esq., Deputy, presided ; and among those present were Deputy Bone, Deputy Lorkin, Deputy Hawtrey, Deputy Bower, Deputy Perkins, Deputy Read, Deputy Pewtress, Deputy Jones, Deputy Elliott, Deputy Owden, Deputy C. Reed, Deputy Scamell, Deputy Cork; Messrs. George Walter, Spilsbury, Green, Houghton, Straker, Botterill, Cole, Nind, Banning, Blakesley, Cox, Dadswell, Saunders, Matthew, Israel, &c. After the despatch of some ordinary business, the solicitor to the Commission (A. BAYLIS, Esq.) reported to the Court that he had, in accordance with his instructions, caused inquiries to be made into the circumstances under which a quantity of meat, consisting of four quarters of a cow, was sent up for sale to Leadenhall-market in January last. It seemed that the cow had been consigned by a butcher living at Pinchbeck, in Lincolnshire, he having bought it for £3 10s., and that the animal had " dropped" from long-stand ing disease, and was on the point of death at the time it was purchased. The solicitor stated further that there could be no doubt the purchaser must have been aware of the con dition of the meat and its unfitness for food when sent up for sale. The solicitor added further, that as there might be some difficulty in proceeding against the person who had sent the meat up to London under the Nuisances Re moval Act, he suggested that proceedings should be taken under the common law. The Commissioners instructed the solicitor to prosecute the person implicated at the Old Bailey. Mr. BAYLIS then explained to the Court the circumstances of the case of Charles Cox, a butcher, near Romford, who was summoned the day previously at the Mansion-house police-court, at the instance of the Commissioners of Sewers, for sending diseased meat to the London market. He said it was proved beyond all doubt that the meat was diseased and unfit for human food, and that it was sent by Cox to a meat salesman to be sold for human food ; but as it hap pened to have been placed in that part of the salesman's pro mises from which, as he alleged, meat was never sold, the presiding magistrate (Sir R. W. Carden) decided that that was not a sale, nor an "exposure for sale," and the case did not therefore come within the strict interpretation of the Nuisances Removal Act of 1863. The magistrate, however, informed the sender that but for this technical difficulty he should have sent him to prison for three months. The soli citor further explained that under the common law it was not requisite the diseased meat should be sold or exposed for sale, it being sufficient to prove that the diseased meat was sent from the country, and such offender could there fore still be brought to justice by indictment at the Central Criminal Court. After some discussion the matter was referred to the soli. citor for further inquiry. THE SUPPLY 01 GAS TO THE CITY-DR. LETREBY'S QUARTERLY REPORT. The medical officer of health, Dr. LETHEBY, presented a report relative to the supply of gas to the City for the quarter beginning November 14, 1863, and ending February 13, 1864. He stated that the illuminatory power of the gas supplied by the three companies supplying the City had been above the requirements of the act of Parliament, the average having been as follows :—The City Company's gas was equal to 15.20 sperm candles; the Chartered to 13.93; and the Great Central to 13 . SO'candles. The average power of the Great Central Company's gas for the corresponding period of the ten years preceding the act of Parliament was 13 40 candles. Dr. LETHEBY further reported that the amount of sulphur in the gas had, in the case of each of the companies, been above the quantity sanctioned by Parliament, and was below the average quantity found in the gas before the passing of the act. Some other business having been disposed of, the Coin. missioners adjourned. AN ENTIIIISIASTIC ADMIRER OF QUEENSLAND,-. The following is extracted from a letter written by a man who left England in Mareh last year. He is a block printer by trade, and having worked in England, Ireland, Scotland, France, and the United States, he was pre pared to meet with some difficulties in Queensland, and the latter country he says ho likes best. He is am m glad place he writes to inform yo u now wa residi ng friend as in f I t) P 1 l s o w w i s e f ‘ r t o abeautifuleaceo sheu nt r e y o u I l dhave not like ever to seen go that I am proud that I came out to this country, where there is plenty of w or k and plenty of meat, and good wages. It ra 'e the mostnd my y l backin allmy y again except she had pl enty of money to keep her independent. She likes th e country very well, and so do I. Infact we are travels, w fe says better off than ever we were in our lives before. We go down the:street on a Saturday night and buy Sibs or 91bs of beef; or we can buy a leg of mutton at 4d per lb, and can have the best cutting of beef for 31c1 per lb. We are not the same as we were at home, for we were then glad to get a penny worth of liver; if we could manage to get a sheep's head it was a fine treat, lam working as a carpenter. I work eight hours per day, and get 8s for it. We start at eight o'clock in the morning, have an hour for dinner, and knock off at five in the evening. On Saturday we stop at four o'clock in the afternoon. So you see for a week's work I have .£2 Bs. My eldest boy is porter for a grocer, and he has £l5 for the first six months and his rations; and if he stays after the first six months have expired he will get £35 per year. So you see he is better here, for he is not dragged out of bed, to go to a dirty, filthy factory with a face as pale as death. ll e gets plenty of beef and fresh a i r , an d h e is as fat as a pig. Thank God he has not to run with his clothes in his hand for fear of being locked out, and then to have to go through the penny-hole,' so that the slave driving factory masters can t a k e some thiug out of his wages to being too late. If I liked I could keep a horse and a cow, and they would cost me nothing for their keep, as they turn them into the bush to find for themselves. There are very few persons here who do not ride their own horses, There is no poor law, and there are no infernal bastiles. Thank God, I have shaken off the chains of oppression, and have got to a land that 'lows with milk and honey;' and I hope before long to sit under my own vine and fig-tree. There are many unpleasant things here, such as mosquitoes, sand-flies, cockroaches, ants, &c, ; but with all these it 10 far better than being at home,"—Bury Times.

Although the system ofjo'nt-stock banking has been esta blished to meet the requirements of most departments of trade, it bas not be , n intro ince.' tor the business of the Agricultural and cattl,!-markets of the metropolis ; and though the population has doubled within the last twenty five years—and consequently the necessary q iantity of sup plies -.yet the whole business, amounting to fifteen to twen , y millions per snnum, is left in the hands 01 a few private firms. The Albion Bank is introduced to provide increased facilities for this trade, by establishing an office in the City, as well as at Smithfield and the Metropolitan eatt e-market ; and subsequently, shou'd it be found desirable, by opening branches in he nricult iral districts. _ _ The value of the rapidly-increasing commission business to be trans tcted by the Albion Bank can be readily appre ciated by a knowledge that the method in which dealings are carried on at the Cat le-mari.et constitutei the baok, the de po•itory of all the moneys passing troen the buyer to the producer. The Metropolit n Meat or Poultry-market in Smithfield, now in cours- of erection, is destinel, by the terms of the act of Parliament, to combine and sunersede all other markets tor meat in th , ny tropolis. To this mar. et will be concen trate all transactions for the supply of butcoers' meat, you try, and other pr .duce to the inhabitants of the metro polis, and a circle of :4 miles round it. The tdrecta , s have Entered into provisional arrangements by which the advantage of o 'mmencing up ,n en e , tlbl shed connexion, under competent and experienced manageme t, will be se,ured to Sharehitiers from the cimmence meet of business, by which they are warranted in expect ing that they wi 1 be enabled to declare a dividend during the first N ear. That i.u , t,ber of Joint-Stock Banks m ybe advantazeou y incre-sed (more p r icularly u d r speeiai eircumstan.•e , such as have ed to the formation of the Albion Bank), is de monstrated by he f iet that so late as six ye r ago, when the number of Joint Stook Bank in London was n t more than six, their total deposits did not ex .eed £22,030,600: while ruiw that the number of these ban s has been doubled, thi.: joint deposits are already more than ireb e I, amoun ing to a total of £71,792,300. Ti:e dividend+ of the older banks range from 15 to 30 per cent. in -iccoriance with the dates of their (istabli hmenc ; iind the premiums on their shares from 200 to 3(0 cr cent. in a precsely sin! ar r au).

In Liverpool—The Washington HoteL PRO SPECTUS. Liverpool is the port through which the vast passenger traffic which exists between this country, America, the West Indies, and Canada passes. It is obvious, therefore, that first-rate Hotel accommocla tion is not only desirable, but absolutely necessary ; and to supply that requirement the Washington Hotel was built within the lasi- two years. It has been designed and fitted u on the model of the great American and Continental Hotels, replete with all the comfort, convenience, and luxury which modern taste can suggest. The Hotel is situate in Lime-street, opposite the principal railway terminus, on one of the finest sites in the town. It contains about 200 rooms, furnished in the best style. Under the Hotel have been formed ice wells, capable of storing about 3, , 00 tons of ice. These are the only public ice wells in Liverpool, and from their position can supply the whole town. The Company has arranged to purchase the lease of the Washington Hotel, together with the goodwill, stock in trade, furniture, and fittings. The ice wells, which are included in the purchase, are now full, and from that source alone the Directors expect that a dividend of 5 per cent. on the capital wi 11 be realised. It is intended that the establishment in Liverpool shall be the principal Hotel, and that it shall co-operate with other existing hotels in London, Manchester, and other large towns in the United Kingdom, and also in America. As the Hotel is now in full operation, and making large returns, the delay occasioned by the erection of premises, and acquiring a business, will be avoided. The Company will take immediate possession of the pre mi,es, and enter at once upon the business, consequently re turns will be made forthwith, and the Directors believe that they are not over-estimating the profits when they anticipate large dividends for the shareholders. '1 here will be no promotion money, and the preliminary expenses will be restricted to the amount actually incurred. If no allotment be made to an applicant, the deposit wi 1 be retnrned in full ; and if a less numb , rof shares be allottei than are applied for, the balance of such deposit will be cre dited towards the payment on allotment. Plans of the property may be seen at the Offices of the Com pany, and also at the Brokers, where PrJspeotuses and Forms of Application tor Shares may be had. . :._iik._ THE LONDON AND LIVERPOOL HOTEL COMPANY (Limited.

Chelmsford, Lincoln, and Nottingham may be considered as agreeable preludes, each a lever de rideau, to the Aintree drama. The audience, though doubtless " fit," is but " fbw" until the excitement of the Grand National lures frord their firesides all the well known faces whose last trysting-place was probably " the ring" at the Houghton meeting. Time was when it was thought quite early enough to put in a first appearance at Northampton in the beginning of April, but we progress so rapidly in racing matters, the national pastime occupies so large a space in the pleasures and amusements of the year, that the old landmarks are being rapidly encroached upon, and it will be no easy matter shortly to say where the sea son begins and where it ends. Mr. Topham has seldom put forth a more promising pro grame than on this occasion. Neither was the card inju diciously crowded, six events only being appointed for deci sion. The Tyro Stakes brought seven youngsters to the post, Weatherglass (a fine-looking son of Weatherbit) being made the favourite ; but he only managed to secure second honours to East Lynne and Club Queen, who finished a fine race with a dead heat ; the former subsequently walk ing over, and dividing the forfeits with Club Queen. The Spring Cup had about three equal favourites in St. Lawrence, the Monk, and Aurelian, Lord Westmoreland's horse having the call at starting. The Monk was never in the race,vvhieh wad left to the other two, the weight telling on Aurelian, who was beaten by half a length. It had been snowing all the morning. amd the weather now reached a climax, the last race being run in so dense a storm that it was next to impossible to see the horses. The attendance was numerous, but, of course, the wretched weather had a material influence, both on the receipts of the stands and the fields for the several events. A Handicap Plate of 40 soya.
